April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month

Visiting Grin Pediatric Dentistry regularly will not only help keep your child's teeth and mouth healthy, but will also help keep the rest of their body healthy. The fact is, every hour of every day in the U.S., someone dies of oral cancer, which is the sixth-most common diagnosed form of the disease. The five-year survival rate is only 50 percent, and oral cancer is one of the few cancers whose survival rate has not improved. Since April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Ryan and Dr. Keel would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone about the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene.

As dentists, Dr. Ryan and Dr. Keel are specifically trained to diagnose, treat, and prevent oral health problems. Please let us now if you have any questions about your child's oral health during their next appointment.
